EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic LCC-LFB Massey Shaw fireboat at her moorings on the Victoria Embankment at Blackfriars, London. Built in 1935 by J. Samuel White at Cowes, Isle of Wight, the Massey Shaw was a proud addition to the London Fire Brigade's fleet, costing around £18,000 to construct. Named after Eyre Massey Shaw, a former Chief of the London Fire Brigade, this vessel was a vital part of the city's firefighting transport. The image shows the Massey Shaw laying off her moorings, ready for action. The misty atmosphere adds an atmospheric touch to the scene, with the vehicle and crew standing by, alert and prepared. The fireboat's powerful engines and impressive size are on full display, a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The London Fire Brigade's fleet of fireboats played a crucial role in protecting the city from fires on the River Thames. The Massey Shaw, with her advanced equipment and skilled crew, was a formidable asset in this effort. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a fascinating insight into the history of firefighting on the Thames and the vital role that the Massey Shaw played in it. This photograph, taken by the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable addition to any collection of London history or firefighting memorabilia. It is a reminder of the important work that the London Fire Brigade continues to do, protecting the city and its people from fire and other emergencies.
